Amos 7:12-17

Rotherham(i) 12 Then said Amaziah unto Amos, O seer, go flee thee away unto the land of Judah––and eat, there, bread, and, there, mayest thou prophesy; 13 But, at Bethel, not again, any more, mayest thou prophesy,––for, the holy place of the king, it is, and, the house of the kingdom, it is. 14 Then answered Amos, and said unto Amaziah, No prophet, was I,––nor the son of a prophet, was I,––but, a herdman, was I, and a preparer of sycamore fruit; 15 But Yahweh, took me away, from following the flock,––and Yahweh, said unto me, Go prophesy against my people Israel. 16 Now, therefore, hear thou the word of Yahweh,––Thou art saying, Thou must not prophesy concerning Israel, nor let thy word drop down upon the house of Isaac. 17 Therefore––Thus, saith Yahweh, Thy wife, in the city, will commit unchastity, and, thy sons and thy daughters, by the sword, shall fall, and, thine own soil, by line, shall he apportioned,––and, thou, on a polluted soil, shalt die, and, Israel, shall, surely go into exile, away from his own soil.
